joe louis??
not sure if it is him but cc anyway
It depends what you mean by World Champion
Joe Louis held universal recogintion as Heavyweight World Champion for nearly 12 years
Abe Attell held claims to the Featherweight World Championship from 1901 though to 1912
Simon Harrison has held the SHBF heavyweight title from July 1988 to the present day... ;)
thanks for the answer bk cc
1901-1912=11 years he still loses to Louis.Quote:

oh yea forgot about him and i think hes made 18 title defences :coolclick:
hey bk chavez must of made loads of title defences
yeh its a pretty badass run, i think floyd must have a pretty bad record in title fights at the moment i mean hes never lost and hes won titles in 4 classes.. that must look awfully good on the ol rec! also tito had a good title run before he was defeated, is tito still the only man in middle wieght to have won the title on the first match in the wieght class( apart form s.r.leonard?)
10 years actually October 28 1901 to February 22 1912Quote:

September 27 1950, when he lost to Charles,and thus Ezzard was considered World Champion by everyone except Europe and Great Britain.
As for Abe, it is a very debatable subject as a lot of people discredit Attell, many of his fights were by his own admission fixed. And yet at his best, he was some think (not me) maybe the Greatest Featherweight ever...
Louis obviously had a more respected reign that was slightly
yeh man. im not sure bout how many defences but props to any badass out there whos fought over a hundred fights, jcc,duran, robinson. its off its tits lolQuote:

Chavez was 30-4-2 I think, in WBA, WBC or IBF title fights, but if we are talking numbers thenQuote:

Did Ken Norton have the shortest Reign?
What about Bernard Hopkins? He reigned for 10 or so.
Did he make most world title defenses of all time as well or was just for middleweight?
From The Guiness Book of Records
Longest Reign As A Boxing Champion
American Joe Louis Barrow had the longest reign as a boxing champ. He was world heavyweight champion for 11 years and 252 days, from 1937 until 1949. His record-breaking reign began when he fought James J Braddock in Chicago and knocked him out. Although champion, Louis still wanted to beat the German boxer Max Schmeling, who had defeated him a year earlier. In 1938 they finally met again and Louis knocked Schmeling out in just over 2 minutes. Louis retired in 1949, still undefeated, but made a comeback in 1951 and was beaten for the last time by Rocky Marciano.
Guess it was Joe then!
i think he did at middlewieght possibly but not in any one wieght class as joe calzaghe's is at 18 or so atm.
I would of thought that 'honour' would belong to a Frans Botha or James Toney; i.e.someone who failed a drugs test after winning the title.Quote:

Here's the KO champ of the world...
Most Boxing Knockouts
The greatest number of finishes classed as knockouts in a boxing career is 145 (129 in professional bouts), by the USA's Archie Moore. He was born in 1913 and grew up in Mississippi. At the end of his career he moved on to training fighters such as George Foreman. Moore was elected to the Boxing Hall of Fame in 1966 and President Eisenhower invited him to the White House to help combat juvenile delinquency.
haha yeh man.
that shi..t must be off the charts, stil its like foreman says theres no natural advantage, if youre small, or big, you have to take advantage, i think he pretty much said that in the corrales-pbf match.
Longest reign should really be measured in title defences..
..not years.
Whom would that be?
Some dudes are fighting 4/5 times a year whilst other only fight 3 times a year if that..
In my opinion, in due course Jimmy Wilde will be shown to of had the most KO's, it is just a case of research...Quote:

you make a good point, but those that reign in years with few defences usually either get stripped or noone wants to no cos theyr jessy's lol.Quote:
